If ever in the Rochester area please put me on your e mail notification so I can come to see.
Another band for you to possibly check out The Crawdiddies. A little different sound, but very enjoyable. My father is the washboard man.
Keep jammin!!

Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:10:29 +0000http://www.howsmyliving.com/?p=3173#comment-957Yeah — I need to dig deeper into their audiovisual work, because one of the things I also really like about what they’re doing is that it’s multidimensional, and I want to see how they subvert and reclaim images as well as music.

I’d followed the Williams case from his death to the present — I read The Stranger — so hearing “Woodcarver” was familiar, but still difficult. It also adds a dimension that pictures and words (and internet comment threads of varying degrees of horrifying) alone can’t create — but it’s still important context, I think, especially for folks who may not have heard about Williams’s death and memorial efforts.

The track “Woodcarver” is difficult to listen to, but something with that much backstory shouldn’t be easy to hear.
